Andrew, There is a huge difference between meteorologists and "climate scientists” Many Climate people are not worried about extremes and small scale processes (< 100km) , which for me are CRITICAL - with the proviso that paleontologists etc. , e.g. looking at Younger Dryas etc. are worried. The system is both as you suggest. Predictable if you include all the factors , chaotic if you are operating at scales larger. Of course there is always an issue of knowing the initial conditions.
As a meteorologist, I believe the IPCC6 WG1 consensus is a whitewash written by climate scientists who understand little about meteorology ( IPCC6 (2021), Climate Change. The physical basis . https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/1/ <https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/1/> ) As a meteorologist CCRA3 is better. ( Slingo, J. (2021) Latest scientific evidence for observed and projected climate change. https://www.ukclimaterisk.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/CCRA3-Chapter-1-FINAL.pdf <https://www.ukclimaterisk.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/CCRA3-Chapter-1-FINAL.pdf> ) I have written a letter to the Guardian saying this and waiting until tomorrow (in case they answer!) before sending it elsewhere. I can send a copy if desired.
